Tang Su ignored him and apologized to Cindy, "I'm really sorry for scaring you. You don't know, there are a lot of foreigners like this in Shanghai. They think they have some stinky money in their hands, and there are indeed some shameless women who take the initiative to stick to them for green cards, dollars, and fashion. As a result, these foreigners think that all the women in Shanghai can be played with as they wish. They throw money at the women they like. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. I've seen it happen several times. Sometimes I'm so angry that I really want to go up and slap them a few times, but I can't beat them, haha … "
Cindy said, "It's okay, Miss Tang. I'm just angry, but I'm not scared. Fortunately, Mr. Li Rui arrived in time, or else … haha, it's really hard to get away." Tang Su asked curiously, "You call him Mr. Li?" Cindy said, "Yes." Tang Su said, "It seems that you and Li Rui are not familiar with each other?" Cindy nodded and said, "Yes, we just met not long ago."
Tang Su did not ask her any more questions and turned to look at Li Rui. The next moment, Li Rui felt a pain in his leg. He was kicked by someone. He looked down and saw Tang Su's shoe was still under his leg. He looked up and glared at her. Tang Su smiled strangely and ignored him. She called the waiter to order.
After ordering, Li Rui and Tang Su chatted. Cindy did not interrupt and just listened quietly at the side.
After a while, a short, middle-aged man in a suit walked out from the depths of the restaurant. He was led by a waitress to Li Rui's table, reached out his hand, and said excitedly, "Hello, friend. I'm the owner of this western restaurant. My surname is Hu. I've just heard that you've shown the prestige of our country. I'm ashamed and happy at the same time. I'm ashamed that the restaurant's security is not good enough to protect the rights and interests of every customer. I'm happy that there's a chivalrous and courageous man like you who stood out to help the weak and save our compatriots. In order to show my respect for you, I'd like to give you a platinum membership card on behalf of the restaurant. With this card, you can bring as many friends as you want to eat in my restaurant at any time. All expenses will be 40% off. Thank you very much! "
After saying these words, Boss Hu shook hands with Li Rui and then handed him a gorgeous and delicate silver-white membership card.
Li Rui stood up and took the card. He looked at the enthusiastic Boss Hu in front of him and did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had just saved his friend from that black man, but Boss Hu said that he had "raised the prestige of our country" and praised him to such an extent. Was he so great? He said modestly, "Boss Hu, you flatter me. In fact, it was my friend who was pestered by that black man. It's natural for me to help my friend, so …"
Boss Hu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be modest. No matter who you saved, you saved the children of our country and protected the reputation of my restaurant. I'm very grateful to you and would like to invite you to have a drink or two. But since you are with your friend, I don't want to disturb you. Next time you come, let's have a few drinks." After saying these words, he shook Tang Su's hand and left with a smile.
Li Rui handed the membership card in his hand to Tang Su and said, "You can keep this card. I basically don't need it." Tang Su pushed it back and said, "He gave it to you, a national hero who raised the prestige of our country. How can I take it? You're slapping me in the face, big hero. "Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said," Don't insult me, okay? It's already exaggerated enough to raise the prestige of our country. How can you call me a 'national hero'? I want to be a national hero, but it's not that easy. "
Cindy, who was beside them, laughed when she heard that. She looked at Li Rui with eyes full of tenderness.
Soon, the dishes were served one by one. The three of them shifted their focus from talking and laughing to tasting the food. It had to be said that the taste of the food in this Western restaurant was really good. Since Li Rui started to make a name for himself, he had eaten almost all the food in the world, including those that flew in the sky, those that ran on the ground, those that swam in the water, those that crawled in the mud … He had eaten almost all of them. Except for the legendary dragon liver and phoenix marrow, he could not think of any more delicious food to eat. But now, when he ate the food in this Western restaurant, such as the foie gras, he was bursting with joy. The fragrance lingered on his teeth and cheeks, and he secretly gave the restaurant a thumbs up many times.
It was almost two o 'clock when they finished the sumptuous and delicious meal. Li Rui put away the platinum membership card on the table and said to Tang Su, "Forget it if you don't want it. I'll keep it for myself. Next time, whenever I come to Shanghai, I'll definitely come here to eat." Tang Su could not help but laugh out loud and said, "You're really cute when you haven't seen the world."
After she said this, she took out her phone. Li Rui saw it clearly and asked, "You're going to call the driver, right?" Tang Su was startled and said, "Yes, let him drive downstairs to pick us up." Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "He probably won't be coming. Let's go downstairs and take a taxi." Tang Su asked curiously, "Why? If he can't come, is he going to do something else? Did he say anything to you? Why didn't he say anything to me? This kid is getting more and more … "Li Rui said," I knew you were an impatient person, so I didn't dare to tell you before we ate. Let's go, we'll talk outside. "Tang Su's expression changed slightly and said anxiously," What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Where did he go? How dare he not listen to my orders? "
Li Rui did not say anything else. He got up and walked to her side, gently pulling her arm and motioning her to leave. Tang Su stared at him with a hesitant expression, but she still stood up. Li Rui pulled her again, called Cindy, and walked to the entrance of the restaurant.
Downstairs, the three of them took a taxi and rushed to Tang Su's company, Tang Feng Film and Television. In order to make it easier for Li Rui and Tang Su to talk, Cindy sat in the front passenger seat.
On the way, Li Rui told Tang Su the details of the car accident, including the two traffic police's discovery that the left turn knuckle had been cut and tampered with, which could cause the accident. Tang Su was shocked and scared. She was so scared that her small face turned pale. Her cherry lips opened, but she could not speak for a long time.
"I almost killed you, I … I'm sorry …"
After Tang Su came back to her senses, the first sentence she said was an apology, but it also imperceptibly showed her kind and simple nature.
Li Rui's heart warmed when he heard it. Looking at her sad and anxious face, he could not help but want to cherish and love her. He took her right hand and held it with both of his hands. He said softly, "Silly girl, Cindy and I are fine. You don't have to feel guilty about it. The most important thing now is not to feel guilty, but to think about how to catch the culprit. Think about it carefully. Could it be Ye Pingping who did it? "
Ye Pingping was a famous actress who had become famous earlier. Now, she was considered the top actress in Tang Su's company, Tang Feng Film and Television. Out of jealousy and hatred towards Tang Su, she had tried to ruin her reputation twice. Thanks to Li Rui and Xu Da's help, Tang Su had escaped danger. Therefore, when it came to the culprit, the first person Li Rui thought of was Ye Pingping. However, he was not sure, because Ye Pingping's hatred towards Tang Su was not that great. Previously, she had tried to ruin Tang Su's reputation, not kill her. However, this time, the real culprit wanted to kill Tang Su. The hatred was too great.
When Tang Su heard him mention Ye Pingping, her face darkened. She thought for a moment and said, "Other than her, no one else would dare to lay a hand on me. It's just that I can't believe that she would actually try to kill me. Could it be that my existence has already threatened her life?" Li Rui let go of her hand and said, "Silly girl, you can't say that. Who said that you have to threaten the other person's life for them to kill you? Cutting off someone's source of income, blocking someone's career, and snatching someone's wife will all lead to death. "Tang Su frowned and said," But I didn't cut off Ye Pingping's source of income. " Li Rui sighed and said, "You're so popular now, and your company's boss values you and loves to promote you. You have more opportunities, but she has fewer opportunities. In fact, you're the one who's cutting off her source of income."
Tang Su was so angry that her eyes turned red. She scolded indignantly, "F * ck, she has fewer opportunities because she's old. She used to be popular, but now she's not famous anymore. How can you blame me? We actresses rely on our youth to make a living. It's not easy to make a living when you're old. Everyone wants to make more money while they're young. She used to be popular, and she's saved a lot. Does she want to be popular for the rest of her life? " Li Rui patted her hand and motioned for her to calm down. He said in a low voice, "Don't think about this now. The most important thing now is how to resolve the grudge between you and her." Tang Su said firmly, "I'll call the police right away and let the police get justice for me." As she said that, she took out her phone.
Li Rui covered her phone with his hand and motioned for her not to call the police first. He said in a low voice, "If this was really done by Ye Pingping, then she must have the appropriate means to avoid trouble. Even if the police can find the culprit through the cut on the goat's horn, they won't be able to trace it back to Ye Pingping. Someone else will take the blame for her. Besides, there's a 50/50 chance that the police won't even be able to find the culprit. That's even more pointless. "
Tang Su said angrily, "Then what should I do? Should I swallow this humiliation like before? Won't that help boost Ye Pingping's arrogance? " Next time, she might send an assassin to kill me on the streets. "Li Rui shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he said," How about this? Let Xu Da help. He has nothing to do now, so let him help you deal with Ye Pingping. "Tang Su was stunned and said," Xu Da? Can he deal with Ye Pingping? " Li Rui smiled and said, "When I pass by the provincial capital on my way back, I'll talk to him about this and ask him to come to Shanghai immediately to help you."
